Hershey School's board, despite orders to be frugal, runs up big expense bills
The directors of the Hershey School oversee an educational facility in central Pennsylvania for impoverished children, but you might not know it from their expense reports.
Eight directors ran up an $18,000 tab for a weekend board meeting last June at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel, according to internal records obtained by the Inquirer.
All 10 spent $362,000 in travel, meals and hotels over the last 2 1/2 years, including at least 60 limousine rides, often from the Philadelphia and Baltimore airports.
Then there was the $6.9 million that board members were paid for their service over the last three years, an unusually lucrative perk for a board overseeing a school for poor children.
